Hey! So my week was pretty similar to the previous weeks,, meaning Tuesday I had the Art going on and then tutoring Kasuri at 3, . After Kasuri I walked to Tesco (kind of like the Carrefour) and met up with the family,.. We did some shopping and later went out for dinner at Jackie's. This was our first week of our cooking schedule, .Monday is Jiao Zi night (dough with some meat and vegetables inside) which is easy food cause Monday there's usually no time left for cooking,.. Tuesday is uncle Bart's night which is way we went out for dinner Haha, .. So We came up with a new rule, .. you can go out for dinner twice/year, other nights you have to cook yourself.. We'll just see how that goes :) Wednesday instead of art I went to check out the Gym with Eloisa,.. It wasn't as big as i expected but a lot of teachers go there and it's usually not busy at all.. It ll cost me 120 euros for 6 months,..haven't decided yet...Anyways they also offer some classes like Yoga, Pilates,.. Eloisa wanted to try the Belly dancing :) Haha It was fun but don't think i'll be doing it again any time soon though :p In the afternoon I finished a little art Project for Miss Natasha: she needed white crowns with flowers for her performance on Halloween, .. I kinda underestimated the amount of work and time it would take but it worked out in the end, . When I showed the crowns to this chinese teacher she suddenly looked at me as if someone had died,.. turns out people wear white flowers in their hair for funerals here,.. didn't know, but it is halloween so even better :p Later that day I had the French tutoring and that's it,.. Yesterday I helped out with Art in the morning, went home for lunch and then to the halloween meeting at 3,.. We made some stuff for our act tonight,.. an oven, a meat grinder,.. went home for dinner and then came back to school at 6, since we needed it to be dark outside to rehearse our act,.. It's pretty awesome,.. Dave's playing sweeney todd, he'll slit Chad's throat (blood effects) and at the same time Dave slits Chad's throat we'll stand behind the audience and spray them with water =) Then they throw a 'body' down from the second floor and this is where I come in.. I chop up the body, throw it in the meat grinder and make my famous meat pies ! I have a lot of lines to memorize but i'm excited about the whole thing so hopefully i won't be too nervous! By the time we finished it was around 8.30,.. When we got outside we couldn't see a thing because of the fog , I ve never seen it like that before! You could see maybe 1 meter in front of you and that's it, .it was soo dangerous to drive home, I was supposed to take a taxi but luckily i was able to get a ride,.. imagine going 5km/hour, window open so we could follow the white stripes on the road, .. it would be so cool if we got have that fog for halloween night ! Today was a normal day, i'm pretty tired though cause last night before i went to bed i had some spicy soup so i had to get up at around 2am cause i felt so thirsty :p Halloween today ! So cute (i mean scary of course) all the kids dressed up in their costumes :p I did the art, went home for lunch, went to tesco and now i'm just waiting for school to end so we can start preparing our room !! Auntie N. left for Manilla this morning by the way,.. well hopefully she actually gets there since there's this huge typhoon approaching the Phillippenes.. I told her to wave at us on the news if she get's stuck in a palmtree or something :p Okay, got to go and get ready now.. I'll let u guys know how it went ;)
Hi! Can't believe it's already been a week since i last wrote on my blog! As far as i can remember the week wasn't particularly interesting so i ll just skip a few days to the Volleyball tournament..which started Thursday with the first game being played at 5pm. The beginning of a V-ball marathon. 3 days straight people, no mercy, (Ha, and i wasnt even a player). There was a total of 6 teams each consisting of a girls team and a boys team (so that makes 12 for all you linguistics people out there.) The teams flew in from all over China (just for V-ball, i know) Anyways It was pretty exciting for me since I'd got a chance to meet some pretty cool people.. :) Friday we had a lockdown in the gym meaning they locked us in (as you maybe derived from the term lockdown). We had food, music, volleyballs, soccerballs, basketballs and a lot of people! Oh that day a guy broke his nose during a spike, but he came to the gym and played some soccer anyways ;) That's about it really, I had a good time and spent my marathon eating snacks and cheering on teams (the chairs could have been more comfortable though).. On Saturday you had the finals in the afternoon.. SIS boys and girls won! So That night you there was the players farewell, end of the tournament dinner at the Renaissance.. I didnt get to go..since i wasnt a player, .. what do you do right ? So i spent the night watching some grey's anatomy (almost finished season 5 now) and had self made chicken soup with noodles! Sunday was clean-up day.. So thats what I did in the morning.. I cleaned (yes dad, i cleaned) and then we went to the 'freezer' store, where apparently big ships get their supplies, so it was an impressive supply of food (although you couldnt see most of it so i just took uncle B on his word) That night we watched the latest Harry Potter on the projector for that real theatre feeling :) Today was amazingly calm, since it's raport card day and the primary kids didnt have to go to school, so no tutoring, no art, no choir ! So in the morning i did some studying, went home, had lunch, waited an hour, danced when no one could see me and okay i watched some television too :p Gotta go to class now so tell you more later :) Bye !
